Can anyone who bought a recent set of Nids post what base size the models came with and I will update the post? The old Dakka base thread hasn't been updated in years.

I recently bought Warriors and Hive Guard and they came with 32mm and 50mm respectively.

Tyranids

25mm:
32mm:
40mm: Warriors
50mm: Hive Guard, Tyrant Guard
60mm:
100mm:
75x42mm:
105x70mm:
120x92mm:
Small Flying Base:

Correction, the Warrior bases are 40mm.

My Warriors came direct from GW and as September, they were on 40mm if that makes a difference to anyone.

While I definitely understand, that people dont want to rebase their whole collection, I really like the look of Space Marines (old and Primaris) on 32mm. In my pov it looks much better. As I am currently building my Christmas Brood Swarm I just hope they dont decide to put Genestealers on 32mm now although with all their arms they are a PITA on 25mm.

I am building some Stealers, Terms, and Horms and they have the 25mm slotta bases so I dont have a choice with them.

What is more advantageous for gaming, bigger or smaller bases?

Smaller bases to get more models into base-to-base for melee?

I assume this is what they mean by modeling for advantage.
